Resilience is stronger together.

Western North Carolina communities have shown incredible strength, determination, and heart in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Through rebuilding, adapting, and supporting one another, local businesses have demonstrated what resilience truly looks like.

We want to celebrate those businesses and the people behind them!

Who is a Western NC business that inspired you with their resilience during hurricane recovery?

Nominate a business that persevered through challenges, found creative ways to rebuild, supported its community, or helped others along the way.

Share their name and story in the comments! Tell us what makes their journey meaningful and why they deserve to be recognized.

By sharing their stories, we can help strengthen connections, amplify their impact, and celebrate the power of community.

Your food business is busy. But is that extra revenue actually working for you?

Join WE Power Food and connect with women food entrepreneurs who share ideas, resources, lessons learned—and the occasional “I’ve been there.”

At this month's member meeting on October 7th at noon, we’re talking money with Ariana Nester of Remedy Cocktail Company, who’ll share how she’s adapted Profit First principles to her food business.

We’ll talk about paying yourself, taxes, COGS, cash flow, and using busy-season revenue to prepare for slower months.

There is Power in WE!

Our gift boxes feature a thoughtfully curated assortment of products from women-owned food businesses and entrepreneurs. One example is our Global Artisan Treasures Gift Box, which brings together sweet and savory specialties such as artisan teas, spice blends, finishing salts, relish, cookies, granola, syrup, and other handcrafted foods. These boxes give recipients an opportunity to discover exceptional products while supporting women-owned businesses and WE Power Food’s mission.

Participating is a wonderful way to introduce your products to customers across the country. We plan to promote the holiday boxes on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, providing valuable exposure for the businesses whose products are selected.

Offer products for WE Power Food to purchase for the boxes.
Donate $100 worth of product in lieu of the cost of a one-year WE Power Food membership.

If you’re interested, please complete our online Gift Box Application!

The application asks for information about your business and products, including pricing, lead time, shelf life, wholesale or retail availability, and applicable product and label approvals. Please also include a product image, label, and company logo.

Products will be reviewed for fit, quality, compliance, and availability. If your products are selected, we may also ask you to contribute a few volunteer hours to help with packing, delivery, or other gift-box needs (if necessary).

We would love to feature your company and help introduce your products to new customers this holiday season. Please complete the application by September 1st, 2026 if you’d like to be considered, and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Thank you for supporting WE Power Food and the talented women who make our food community so special!

Come celebrate your wins, share a challenge (if you have one), and tap into the collective knowledge of an incredible community. Whether you're looking for advice or ready to help someone else, you'll leave with fresh ideas and new connections.

Sometimes the best business advice comes from someone who's been exactly where you are.

We’ll talk about using AI for:
✨ Social media + newsletters
✨ Brainstorming + planning
✨ Repetitive tasks
✨ Graphics + marketing materials
✨ Working smarter without losing your brand voice

And as always, the best part is learning alongside a supportive community of women food entrepreneurs who are figuring it out together.

Your branding is selling your product before anyone takes a bite.
This month, we’re diving into Canva-and how to use it to create polished, professional marketing without hiring a designer.

This is a hands-on session, not a lecture.

We’ll Cover:
Canva basics + templates
Building a cohesive brand (colors, fonts, style)
Creating content for social, markets, and events
What visuals actually drive sales

Why It Matters:
Strong visuals build trust, increase perceived value, and help you stand out-online and in person.

📅 May 6th
⏰ 12:00 PM
📍 Zoom

You’ll leave with real assets, not just ideas.
